Hi karen

we are also looking into the sponsered visa - i have been told that you do not have to pay for private health care, although its recommended, any emergency treatment is covered by Medicare, school fees, yes you do have to pay, not sure about child benefit, so if you hear anything, let me know too please!

im pretty sure you cant claim child benefit or rent assistance if your on a sponsered a visa,but i would still try with centrelink when you arrive just in case,,

I don't know if it's down to each individual company but the one we're looking into being sponsored by say they pay for medical insurance.

We are out here in NSW on a 457 and we have to pay our own private medical and school fees which are $4500 per child per year and no you cant get any benefits at all, hope this helps too :cute:
